Howdy hello! Nice work here. My comments:

• "Habitat and range" should be "Distribution and habitat" per the WP:BIRD standard.  Done
• "Conservation and threats" should be titled "Status"  Done
• "Voice" header should be "vocalizations"  Done
• Subspecies still should be put in the infobox. You can use Template:specieslist, it will automatically format the authorities and dates

  Yes, sorry. Ypna added that in February, and I'll admit I didn't notice. Fixed now.

• In text, subspecies should be formatted as *A. b. subspeciesis (Authority, 2021) – Yadda yadda yadda

  I'm sorry, I'm not clear on what you want here. Are you saying I should remove the text I currently have and replace it with this abbreviated form instead? I'm wondering because this format was fine according to the FA reviewers, per red warbler.

  Ah, nevermind then, that will do fine :)

• Synonym needs a bullet point, authority, and year. Also surprised at only one synonym, I'd double check for more.  Done

  The only other synonyms are all the various subspecies with Chlorocharis rather than Zosterops as the genus. Shall I include those as well?

  Thanks for double checking, that won't be necessary

• Wikilink "clinal"

  It's already linked in the lede; should I link it again in the article?

  Yes, I say link it again. a link may be repeated ... at the first occurrence after the lead.

• Wikilink first mention of "sabah" and "sarawak", remove links from later mentions  Done
• You've already mentioned the ranges of the subspecies, so no need to say them again in the description.  Done
• "commonest" --> most common

  I have changed this at your request, but please note that "commonest" is an accepted word in all dictionaries. ;)

  Huh, interesting. Perhaps its just my local English vernacular, but I don't think I've ever heard it said, or seen it used.

• wl Brunei in the lead  Done
• References look good for the GA level, nicely organized

  Updated to all 13-digit ISBNs and provided page numbers for all citations.

  Ooh, good catch

• I tried to find some more images on Flickr for you, but all copyrighted :(

  Yes, I've scoured flickr and ccsearch, with no luck. I'll have to try harder on my next visit to Borneo!

Otherwise, seems good! Ping me when you get that all sorted out. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 21:10, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

CaptainEek, sorry it has taken me so long to get to this. WP pinged me when you picked up the nomination, but didn't let me know you'd actually posted anything, so I didn't see it until today. I have a few questions for you (see above) but most things are now sorted. MeegsC (talk) 12:31, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

@MeegsC: That's a pass! I only had one more thing for you to fix, so I just did it myself cus it was simple. Nice job, let me know if you take it to FA so I can chime in there too :) CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 03:18, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the review CaptainEek. I really appreciate the care you take. MeegsC (talk) 10:25, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
